ON SIDE NOTE: If you DID throw in O.Sagat, I believe he would be a strong counter to Chun-Li and marginally counter Boxer. This is assuming equally player skill level behind each of the characters. I could be wrong , but I think that is a fair easement?
ryu - sim, vega, balrog, zangief
ken - sim, vega, o. sagat
chun - o. sagat, ryu, ken
guile - vega, sim, blanka
honda - ryu, ken, guile, deejay, chun
balrog - honda, chun
o sagat - sim
vega - honda, bison
gief - honda, dhalsim, chun, fei long
cammy - honda, guile, bison, vega
blanka - honda, balrog, deejay
bison - honda, chun
sim - vega, chun
fei long - o. sagat, honda
deejay - sim, ryu
t hawk - sim, honda
Are you saying Gief counters Ryu and nobody counters Dic? Id like to think hawk has an even matchup as strange as that sounds. Almost Any blocked Psycho Crusher or Scissor Kick = 360. 1 360 = death against dic.
Honda definitely has the advantage. The gap narrows a lot if the Bison player is a specialist, though. Quite a rare breed in the US, anyway. If Zazza makes it to Vegas this weekend I like his chances vs. counter-picker-hondas.

Most characters become very limited in their options when ROG gets his super. This is not limited to Sagat. SO there is really nothing special about that fact.:wgrin:
However, ROG may still counter O.Sagat as you say. I guess I need to do more digging.
As I said, I was not 100% sure.
I was under the impersion the only real O.Sagat counter was Sim.
iirc honda is countered by Ryu, Ken, Chun, Guile, and DJ. Dhalsim and O.Sagat are only minor counters for him. And everyone else on the character list is countered by Honda.
